slows the cooking. The lower the Cook Power. the slower the cooking. Each Number
Pad on your microwave oven stands for a different percentage of Cook Power. Many
recipes in your MICRO MENUS
Cookbook tell you, by number, which Cook Power to
use. Recipes in other books and magazines may tell you by name (HI, MED. LO. etc.] or
by percentage (1 O%, 50%, 808, etc.).
